Today we have a follow up to our rumor report from October 2022 regarding the code name and pricepoint of the Vintage Collection Mandalorian’s N-1 Naboo Starfighter. I’ve been able to confirm the code name is indeed “Bridgeport” and I’ve also found a pricepoint (U.S.) for $131.99 – a bit lower than what I had approximated back then. No word when we’ll be able to see an actual product/render but the sure money is at Star Wars Celebration in April.
Update: The vehicle does include one as-of-yet unnamed figure so hopefully that softens the blow somewhat for those that consider the price to be too high for just a vehicle

While Hasbro has cutback on the number of new preorders, you can still get some of the new figures shown this week by preordering the existing TVC Wave 15 at sponsor Entertainment Earth.
TVC Wave 15 breakdown: 2x Cassian Andor – Aldhani Mission (Andor) 2x Hunter (The Bad Batch) 1x Clone Trooper – Phase II Armor (Andor) 1x Admiral Piett (Return of the Jedi) 1x Starkiller – Vader’s Apprentice – (The Force Unleashed) 1x Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) – carry forward/repack from wave 13
Hasbro has issued a statement regarding future preorders and product releases. I think this is a good thing until release dates, distribution and fulfillment of existing preorders (in the past there have sometimes been near 100 outstanding preorders) can be sorted out.
Hasbro held their first Star Wars fanstream for 2023 and announced several Vintage Collection, Black Series and Retro Collection items as well as Pipeline Reveals. Click on through for the galleries. (No preorders will be offered this week for any of the items).
Recent shipping data shows cases of TVC reissues are starting to arrive in California. Figures include Kithaba, Nikto and Wooof. No sign yet of Saelt Marae (Yak Face).
Hasbro has announced their next Star Wars Fanstream for new Vintage Collection and Black Series announcements/reveals will be held on February 1 at 11am ET. Word on the holonet is there will be a lot of complaining and pitting the scales against each other.

Sponsor Entertainment Earth has listed on their Drop Zone page a teaser for an upcoming preorder in February. The language “enlist” and “batch” seems to suggest something The Bad Batch related and will likely be the Vintage Collection Hunter from the already solicited TVC Wave 15 with Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) and Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor). No word on if there will be anything else dropping that day but we will update when/if we learn more. Thanks to bac for the heads up.
Update: I’m reminded of the fact that there was a Black Series Omega from Season 2 pipelined back in October for MCM Comic Con, so she could be possible preorder as well.
